Build your own Headspace with Claude Code

A guided meditation app: library of guided sessions, audio player with a timer, daily streaks and more.

WeekendA working first version in a day or two

The Claude Code prompt

Build my own take on Headspace: a guided meditation app. Give it an original name, logo, colours and copy, and do not use Headspace's name, branding or assets.

Version one should have:
- Library of guided sessions
- Audio player with a timer
- Daily streaks
- Courses that unlock day by day
- Sleep sounds

The hard part: Content. Record your own sessions or generate voice tracks with a text-to-speech API.

How to build it:
1. Read this folder first. If it is empty, set up Next.js (App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind) with Postgres through Prisma or Supabase, and Supabase Auth or Auth.js for sign-in. Write a short PLAN.md with the data model, screens, third-party services and what you are leaving out of version one.
2. Build the core loop end to end before anything else: library of guided sessions, working with real data saved to the database.
3. Add the rest of the features one at a time, and seed realistic demo data so every screen looks alive.
4. Keep API keys in environment variables, and put any paid service behind a small interface with a local stub, so the app runs on a fresh machine without accounts.
5. Run it, click through every screen on desktop and mobile widths, fix what breaks, and finish with a summary of what works, what is stubbed and how to deploy it.

Paste it into Claude Code in an empty folder. It plans first, so read PLAN.md and steer before it starts building.

Version one

  • Library of guided sessions
  • Audio player with a timer
  • Daily streaks
  • Courses that unlock day by day
  • Sleep sounds

The hard part

Content. Record your own sessions or generate voice tracks with a text-to-speech API.

Make it yours: a niche Headspace ignores, an original name and brand, and one feature it does badly done well.
